Are you a family looking for a sitter or a nanny?

Do you have what it takes to be a SmartSitter?

Allison filled in for our regular SmartSitter on short notice, and we were so impressed with her! She has a great demeanor and is friendly and sweet. She did an amazing job figuring out our infant daughter and household when I only had a small timeframe to show her around and provide some instruction. Allison is a wonderful babysitter who clearly has experience and takes pride in what she does- I highly recommend her!

I set Brittany up with my five-month-old twins while I took my toddler out for his various activities. Brittany is a natural with babies, and twins didn't daunt her at all. In fact, she seemed to greatly enjoy having both of them in their care, and she encouraged them to interact with each other. She sang, read books, played with toys, fed, burped, changed, rocked, soothed, and entertained the babies with the gentlest touch. My family was so happy to have her here during a critical time!

Kimberly is a fantastic sitter/nanny. Really fun, great judgment, super competent, very smart, and an all round delightful person. We would love to work with her again. Our kids loved her too--my older daughter has already asked me when she's going to see Kimberly again.

Thank you for finding such wonderful people. It's not easy to find a person with whom I would easily let Benjamin be alone in the room with upon first meeting, but I trust your screening process and also felt very comfortable with Ciera. She is personable, professional, and always had Benjamin in mind and seemingly in her heart.

We were really impressed with Andrew. He has a very special demeanor - gentle, calm, kind. Our son took to him almost immediately and they had a great couple of days together. We hope to work with him again!

Toni was great. This was the first time we left our little one with someone other than my husband or myself (while he was awake), so we were definitely a bit nervous. But, Toni was so warm and attentive to Alex that he took to her almost immediately and had a great time both times she sat with him.

Adrienne was punctual, friendly, open, and warm. We are new to the babysitting world, mainly because we have had close friends and family support us with our children until we relocated to NYC. We interviewed several people (outside of SmartSitting) and began to worry about the process of hiring a nanny/babysitter. We were very pleased that the first person SmartSitting referred was GREAT! Adrienne made us feel safe the moment she arrived. Our youngest took to her immediately and eased all insecurity (that parents generally feel with someone new). We hope to have Adrienne again.
